I Will Restore The Years The Locusts Have Eaten. What Has This Got To Do With Stress Reduction?

Locusts! Have you seen what they can do? They can literally decimate a crop in minutes.  Rendering whole villages , farmers and their families without food or income. Can you imagine the pain and stress that having your livelihood taken away like that brings?  Having your crops destroyed may create a struggle for your very survival.

I know for myself that my life at times seems to be  as stripped bare and threatening as a locust storm. So far thankfully not in food, clothing or shelter but in terms of my appreciation for what I have or the seeming lack of progress in the intentions I have made. Primarily in reduction stress and helping others be the person they were born to be. But the real lack was in awareness of a real sense of purpose, and of the abundance and liberation that I already have. Right now, right here. 

Economic recession. Depression. The great recession, whatever it is, can seem like a storm threatening  to destroy everything we have built up.  Or take away the little we already have.

The difficult times, when seen for what they are, as the opportunity to learn and grow and develop your true purpose and infinite potential.  It can then become the portal to a new life, new strength and new courage.

If money is causing you stress right now.  Or you are looking for stress relief. It might help you to watch this video by Lynn Twist.  If you are wanting to reduce stress in your life , discover awareness find inner peace, love and liberation.  Maybe A radical change in your understanding and experience of money will help. Let go of all this stuff.

  

If you have been watching recently the Blood, Sweat and Takeaway series on BBC1 on Monday nights, I could not help be struck once more that the real poverty is not lack of abundance it is the deeply ingrained subconscious belief that I am not enough, I am not good enough.  This sense of lack is the root of pshychological spiritual poverty in our age from which stems the seemingly un satisfiable desire for more.

Have a look at this BBC series and see the reality of life for the people who are trying to exist by satisfying our consumer societies madness.

Looking again at my life I cannot but be struck by the abundant provision of everything  I have in terms of life, relationships, health and resources.  I may be temporarily suffering a seemingly lack of abundance right now.  But the truth is I have enough, I am enough, I do enough I am good enough.

What about you?

Are you too finding yourself struggling with a lack of peace, money, lack of relationship, employment, lack of true enjoyment or sense of purpose or destiny whatever it is.

Do you think you are  sufficient?  Do you think you have enough. Do you want more? Let me know.

Wherever you are in life right here, right now, trust me, if you take the time to look deep enough you will find within you the sure realisation that there is enough, right now, for you to be, do and have. There is a Source of Life which is unlimited and which has the Power to restore the years that the locusts have eaten, and to make all things new.

Peace,
